Hello! Thank you for your comments!
I don't have access to any kind of ensemble, but I suppose I could also make a string quartet version as you suggested by changing the instruments' names (I think that range-wise it is ok). I do prefer the mellower sound of the viol however.
Regarding notation, I kind of have my own way of notating. I don't like for example when one note is pointing in one direction and the rest in the bar are pointing in the other (by the way, looking at the score of the second dance, I noticed a few places where I missed flipping the notes). I know that this is the normal way of notating, but I don't like it. I like uniformity.
I wrote piano and forte instead of
p and
f, because I wanted to give an "old" feel to the score. I know that it looks and sounds a bit pretentious and I will probably change it. Thanks!
Alexandros
